<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem wherein electrical connection contact points of conventional robotic arms and end effectors require a mechanism such as a compressing spring and a leverage, accordingly cause the end effectors to become larger and are unsuitable for a compact manipulator for assembling a small part. <P>SOLUTION: The manipulator includes: a robotic arm (201) including a butting surface (121) having a first electrical contact (222); an end effector (1) connected to the robotic arm including a butting surface (221) having a second electrical contact (122); and a detachable engagement member (300) including a wedge space in which contact wiring is disposed, and engaging with the butting surface. In the manipulator, the robotic arm and the end effector are engaged with each other by the engagement member so that the robotic arm and the end effector are electrically conducted. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
